as a daydreamer!! as my body is doing work this afternoon, my brain was thinking about the past.. ppl ard me.. their life.. their habits.. the food they ate.. the car they drove.. the places they visited & lotsa more!!
for the past 20+ yrs, one of our closest families was always living on a monthly budget.. the only breadwinner is my cousin's Dad, his mum work part time in some fast food rest. total monthly net income is definately less den $1800. lived budgetly & raised both son & daughter to grown up.. with no fancyfull toys, nv own a car for the past 20 yrs, no branded clothings, nv go for expensive tour trips, very simple lifestyle.. 20 Yrs later, this family is now living comfortably with a monthly rental income from 5 different sources.. they are financial FREE!! They can spend the whole day with their grandsons, play with them, eat with them, tell them bedtime stories & still receiving a 5 digit income!!
On the other hand.. there are ppl earning over $5000 monthly thru out the past 20 yrs. & is now struggling to pay monthly House Loan, Condo Service Charge, Credit Cards interests, Exp. Branded Tuition fees for their child, Branded Piano Lessons, Branded Cars, Branded Tour Trips as in flying a the most comfortable airlines, Exp. Toys for their children & lotsa more!! @ the age of 45+ to 50, still working till midnite almost everyday!! Fruitful time spent with children = 0 - 30mins.
Reason i had all these in my head is because im seeing few of my close frens are starting to fall into the latter!! they started taking up lotsa credit cards.. using every card freely... spending on all the WANT!! and not spending on the NEEDS!! I've tried explaining my point of view to them, but they have their own point of views.. hope they are rite & wish them all the best for their future :)
